The document introduces Tara Mariea and her career search approach. She graduated cum laude from Florida State University with degrees in business, marketing, and management information systems. Rather than traditionally job hunting, she strategizes creative ways to find career fits by conducting in-depth interviews, understanding consumer purchase processes, engaging people with brands, and determining where her skills align with companies. She pitches herself as a great candidate who is motivated, hard working, resourceful, and more. She asks if the recipient is open to trying things out as she enjoys their work and thinks they could be a perfect partner.
